A universal bar code printing system and method for industrial product tracing

Abstract

The invention discloses a universal bar code printing system and method for industrial product tracing. The universal bar code printing system is connected with an MES server and a printer. The universal bar code printing system comprises a design printing module used for designing bar codes, wherein bar code design labels can be variables or scalar parameters, and the variable parameters come from production system data transmission of an MES server; And a bar code printing module which is used for sending the bar code designed by the design printing module to a printer for printing. According to the method, the design model can be quickly established, the complexity of current bar code design is simplified, and the final effect of printing information is achieved through parameter selection, combination and configuration.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a universal barcode printing system and method for industrial product traceability. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of information technology, many automobile manufacturing enterprises adopt advanced production technology information system to enhance the degree of informatization of their own enterprises, improve production efficiency, and meet the product production information tracking proposed by customers. Barcode management technology plays an irreplaceable role in this application. In the past, most factories would be equipped with independent barcode printers and their own printing software to meet the needs of on-site production. However, with the continuous change of production requirements, customers have more and more requirements for barcode printing solutions. [0003] Barcode printers are different from ordinary printers. They mainly use carbon ribbons and thermal paper (or self-adhesive...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0011] 1) Poor configuration

The product does not have a flexible barcode design model. A lot of information such as serial number, material number, station, picture and other attributes are written directly in the software code. If there is any addition or adjustment later, the original code must be modified

[0012] 2) poor versatility

[0013] 3) The printing program uses the UDP communication method to transmit the data information to be printed, which has low efficiency and is affected by distance, so the stability is poor

[0014] 4) Poor portability

The program does not have the ability to transplant and expand, and the work efficiency is low;

[0015] 5) Poor software layout

Mainly to realize the function, the interface is not concise enough, and the operation is inconvenient

[0016] 6) The degree of automatic printing allocation is low
